1/3: This is the “wheelchair” provided at Chennai International Airport for transferring disabled passengers from an aisle chair.
No detachable armrest. The passenger has to be lifted HIGH over the armrest just to get into it.
How is this safe, accessible or dignified?

[Sugirtha C @SugirthaC]

A wheelchair ramp. With speed bumps.
Phoenix Marketcity, Velachery — why? I use a wheelchair and nearly tripped on these raised strips.
Anti-slip doesn’t mean anti-wheelchair. This needs fixing. Disabled people deserve safety, independence & dignity. @pmcchennai @chennaicorp

It seems @airtelindia cannot serve existing customers like me while they are ready to pounce on a business opportunity to issue a new connection with doorstep KYC. A person with lost connectivity and cannot readily access the store shall not be assisted.

THREAD: THE MOST AMAZING TEST DEBUT EVER?

A Test debut is special for a player.
Some rise to it.
Some crumble.
Some find themselves.
Some get lost.

One player did both!

He did not get a 100 or a five-fer but no one’s had a Test debut like him!

31 July, 1975, Lord’s.

In Jan 1978, WI needed 5 runs from 2 balls in a limited overs game.

WI's Number 11 Wayne Daniel smoked the ball from Australia's Mick Malone over square leg for a six to help West Indies win the game.

And this incident played a major role 3 years later. A thread. 🧵

During the brutal events of World War II, Tokyo Zoo slaughtered all the elephants to prevent casualties during the air raids. A letter from the schoolchildren of Japan showed up on Pandit Nehru's desk a few years later. What happened next? Read on. A🧵1/17

This is a picture taken right after the Kerala team won the volleyball gold in the National Games in Gujarat. And therein lies a story.
Not one of the players you see had been picked to play for Kerala by the local association.

There are 2 ways you can become a High Court judge.

Those young Indians who look to find jobs abroad want to settle in liberal secular democracies like US, Canada, and many European countries. But at the same time they want Far Right Authoritarian regime in their own country. Desperately looking for the logic behind it!

The story of Ramayana has always captured India’s imagination. So it’s only natural that it’d capture mine sometimes.

So I just binged on a 3-episode series on the subject by one of India’s most imaginative storytellers, Amish Tripathi.

Why is Tamil Nadu constantly targeted in parliamentary debates?

[Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR) @ptrmadurai]

The difference between DMK and parties such as BJP and AIADMK in fulfilling election promises.

[Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR) @ptrmadurai]

Who should reduce the tax on petrol and diesel? Is it the Union BJP government that has increased the tax on fuel several times in the last seven years? Or the DMK government which has not raised tax on fuel even once in history?

[Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR) @ptrmadurai]

Tamil Nadu Government's opposition to GST on essential food items and the three-stage decision-making process.

[Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR) @ptrmadurai]

Goods and Services Tax is not truly federal in nature. Various issues in the basic structure of the GST Council.

I'm attending a marriage today. You might ask why it deserve a tweet. Well groom is dead actually. And bride is dead too. Like about 30 years ago.

And their marriage is today. For those who are not accustomed to traditions of Dakshina Kannada this might sound funny. But (contd)
